I am so awful.

For a guy who espouses the virtues of live concerts, my attendance at such events is very limited. In fact, it's rare that I drag myself out of my house and go to hear some live music.

But, I am trying to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

There is no DVD or CD recording of a concert that can capture the experience of having been there. It's the x factor that makes live music so special. Plenty to hear:

Kanawha Forum.

 WV Symphony.

Wheeling Symphony.

Pittsburgh Symphony.

Obviously, I have omitted some concerts and events. Want me to post yours here? Then, email me: feedback@wvpubcast.org.
